      Question

      Consider the following statements regarding confiscation

      under the IT Act, 2000: 1. Any computer, computer system or related device used in the commission of an offence may be liable to confiscation. 2. Confiscation automatically extinguishes all other forms of punishment. 3. Confiscation does not affect the power of courts to impose separate penalties or imprisonment. Which of the above are correct?
      A 1 and 2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 2 and 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 1 and 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Only 1 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E All three Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Confiscation provisions allow computers, systems, or devices used in committing offences to be seized. However, confiscation does not extinguish other penalties, meaning fines, imprisonment, or other statutory sanctions can also be applied. Statements 1 (devices liable for confiscation) and 3 (does not preclude other penalties) are correct; Statement 2 (confiscation extinguishes other penalties) is incorrect. Therefore, Option C is correct. This distinction is crucial inĀ understanding cumulativeĀ penalties in cyber offences.Ā
